Thanks but now I have to worry about your wife kicking my butt..and sounds like Tenkin, Inouye et all from SoCal too. Looking forward to learning from you all.
Assuming you guys are in the over 30 bracket. :cheeky:

[Inouye02]

is that how they will break up the divisions ? kinda like Nisei Week..

[SirFingerLickin]

I think I remember hearing it will be divided into the 1-3 dan, and 4-above grade groups.

I think I remember hearing it will be divided into the 1-3 dan, and 4-above grade groups.

I went and got the low-down:
The ranks pertain to ranks as of Sept. 30, 2003 because the tournament had to be organized prior to the exam. (Which means I am in the Kyu). Everybody can only enter in one division.

The Divisions are as follows:

Boys/Girls 13-17, 4 Kyu and under
13-17, 3-1 Kyu

Women 13 & over, Kyu
Womens, Dan

Men/Adult 18 & over, Kyu and under
Men 1-3 Dan (last year there were age brackets but I guess not this year)
Men 4 Dan & Up (no round robin in this group)

All matches in the round robin are 3 minutes with no encho. The top two individuals from each block will advance to the tournament rounds. Kids' and women's tournament matches are 3 minutes. Men's are 4 minutes.

Entry fees are $10 for everybody 18 and over. Bento is $7. The party is $25.

French kiss?
French Toast
French Fries
French Bread
French dip
French dressing

and lets not forget Frech Whores.........my personal favorite.
Whatever heard it all before, just hope there is nothing subliminal comming from you sempai.

PS kiki, what the @#$%%^ is a Kyu and under division, I have no special waza for the unders. I will have to consult super seceret waza master Kirukiru-san to develop special under waza.

[Kiki]

what the @#$%%^ is a Kyu and under division.

...those who have yet to be tested, aka newbees in bogu, zero kyu

[Inouye02]

dont think so

[PlaygroundLegnd]

Hey do you guys know what time to check in? Is it @ 8:00?

[Tenken]

Dude~!!!! That judging was shi@@y!! The SCKO needs to have a shinpan semenar before the tournament or they just need to find someone who knows how to judge!! They were taking points that didn't even touch the guy! Didn't even know how to do "wakare" or even give a "hansoku" call to one! My Ten year old kohai could even do better! My personal opinion, if your going to have a tournament, be ready for one!

[moocow65]

Well, I had taiko practice that day, so I couldn't participate. Well, that and I knew there would have been alot of questionable judging at this tournament, along with hantei, which I HATE.
